目前，特朗普急于推动与印度达成一项临时贸易协议，这份协议将为未来美印双方的谈判留下更大的余地，允许印度在解决剩余问题上拥有更多的时间，并 希望在秋季能够达成更为广泛的贸易协议。从美国的立场来看，他们愿意将关税基准设定在20%以下，并愿意给印度一个"特权"，即在最终协议中继续保留 就关税水平进行磋商的措辞。 很明显，在关税谈判中做出让步，便成为了特朗普可以拿出来的筹码。印度作为美国"印太战略"中的重要组成部分，如果因为关税政策将印度推至对立面， 特朗普将不得不面对得不偿失的局面。因此，他迫不及待地踩下刹车，试图安抚印度，而这也算是莫迪在与美国这一轮较量中，首次在某种程度上"占据上 风"。可以说，特朗普这招以退为进的策略确实学得颇有心得。 此前，世界上还没有哪个国家享受到过这样的待遇，这表明特朗普确实是想通过签署美印贸易协议来尽快拉拢印度。最初，特朗普计划对印度征收26%的关 税，但如果彭博社的报道属实，特朗普这次的妥协显然是大幅让步。 特朗普之所以愿意做出如此重大的让步，主要有两个原因。首先，他急切希望能够取得某种成果。自从他上任以来，就一直提出对等关税政策，但到目前为 止，关税实施的日期屡次被推迟，特朗普自己 ...

Core Viewpoint - The trade war initiated by the Trump administration has resulted in only three countries—UK, Vietnam, and Cambodia—signing preliminary agreements with the US, leading to a postponement of the "reciprocal tariff" policy until August 1, indicating a failure of the trade strategy [1][3]. Group 1: Trade Agreements and Global Response - Since the announcement of the "reciprocal tariff" policy in April, the Trump administration aimed to reshape global trade rules using economic leverage, but only three countries have engaged, while major economies like China, EU, Japan, South Korea, India, Canada, and Mexico have refused to cooperate [3][5]. - The three countries that signed agreements are highly dependent on exports to the US, indicating limited bargaining power, while significant economies are planning countermeasures [3][5]. Group 2: Economic Impact on the US - Major financial figures, including the Federal Reserve and Warren Buffett, have criticized the tariff policy as detrimental to US consumers and manufacturing, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising by 5.4% since the implementation of tariffs, and food prices increasing by 8.2% [5][7]. - The policy is seen as a tax on American households, leading to increased costs for imported goods, which could result in a slowdown in consumption, reduced corporate profits, and a cooling job market [7][9].

特朗普（资料图） 据新华社消息，7月2日，美国总统特朗普在社交媒体"真实社交"上高调宣布：美国与越南达成贸易协议。仅仅72小时后，柬埔寨政府紧随其 后，于7月4日宣布与美国在关税谈判中达成协议。这两个东南亚国家在美国设定的7月9日对等关税暂缓期大限前，选择了快速妥协。 越南的协议堪称一场不对等的交易。根据特朗普的表述，越南将对美国商品全面取消关税，敞开市场大门。作为"回报"，美国将对越南输美 商品的关税从原先威胁的46%降至20%——但这仍远高于越南给予美国的零关税水平。更值得警惕的是，协议中明确规定：对经越南转口的 第三国商品将征收高达40%的重税。这一条款被广泛认为直指中国产业链。过去数年，为规避美国对华高关税，不少中企通过在越设厂组装 或贴牌再出口美国。40%的关税几乎掐断了这种迂回路径，迫使产业链直面冲击。 特朗普（资料图） 柬埔寨的让步同样充满无奈。这个被中国网友亲切称为"柬钢"的国家，此前面临美国开出的49%超高关税——这是特朗普政府针对东南亚国 家提出的最高税率。2024年柬埔寨262亿美元的出口总额中，近四成销往美国。如此重度依赖，使得柬埔寨在谈判中筹码有限。虽然协议具 体税率尚未公布，但分析 ...
